A Wise Use of Money?
Our agency recently employed a professional consultant to review and educate employees on proper posture and stress relief. Used correctly, these classes prevent muscle strain, carpel tunnel, and other common ailments to desk workers. The agency had hoped to save money on the rising workers compensation claims.
Most of us found that simple adjustments to our chairs, sitting habits, and stretching helped reduce muscle tension and strain. I was able to use some of the techniques at home and found myself more aware of my balance and posture.
I started to think this was a great investment in preventative medicine until…
my co-worker was curiously absent this morning.
Only hours after our training class… my co-worker went home, lifted improperly, and caused serious injury to his back.
What do they say about leading a horse to water?
If you want to save some money on doctor’s bills now and in the future – here are some pointers on good posture:
